Outside of the obvious judgment impairing qualities, alcohol will thin your blood. It will make you bleed a lot more. Drinking before, the night before, or after a body modification procedure is a very poor idea. Unless you want to bleed more. Alcohol also increases your chances of getting a modification that you will regret.

Use of alcohol should be avoided for at least 24-72 hours priors to suspending. In fact, many people abstain from alcohol for as long as a week. In general, alcohol dulls and takes away from the experience of suspension.
